Has the Palomar 14 Globular Cluster Been Captured by the Milky Way?

The Astrophysical Journal
We examine a new scenario to model the outer halo globular cluster (GC) Palomar 14 (Pal 14) over its lifetime by performing a comprehensive set of direct N -body calculations.

Hedgehog: An Isolated Quiescent Dwarf Galaxy at 2.4 Mpc

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
It is well known that almost all isolated dwarf galaxies are actively forming stars. We report the discovery of dw1322m2053 (nicknamed Hedgehog), an isolated quiescent dwarf galaxy at a distance of 2.40 ± 0.15 Mpc with a stellar mass of M _⋆ ≈ 10 ^5.8 M ...

An Analytical Galactic Chemical Evolution Model with Gas Inflow and a Terminal Wind

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a new analytical galactic chemical evolution (GCE) model with gas inflow, internally caused outflow, and extra gas loss after a period of time. The latter mimics the ram pressure stripping of a dwarf satellite galaxy near the pericenter of its

Marvelous Metals: Surveying the Circumgalactic Medium of Simulated Dwarf Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
Dwarf galaxies are uniquely sensitive to feedback processes and known to experience substantial mass and metal loss from their disks. Here, we investigate the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of 64 isolated dwarf galaxies ( $6.0\lt \mathrm{log}({M}_{* }/{M}_{\

A Quenched and Relatively Isolated Dwarf Galaxy in the Local Volume

The Astrophysical Journal
An increasing number of discoveries of isolated and quenched dwarf galaxies are challenging the idea that the present-day local environment of low-mass systems is the main determinant of their quenching.
